There are multiple artists using this name. 1. Dead Flowers are an Alternative-rock-pop band from Auckland, New Zealand that released material through Wildside records in the 90's.

After four years of local obscurity, they were picked up by Brian Sutton's Mystic Stones label for one of its earlier releases.

The band sounded at this time like an updated, druggy Black Sabbath or an English Monster Magnet. If the idea sounds tempting, then go for it, but there was better to come. The track Crackdown also appeared on the Undergroun
